5 weeks no gain, 31w now

Ok I have ha zero weight gain in the past 5 weeks and have only gained 10 pounds this pregnancy. I started my pregnancy at a "normal" bmi and have been active right through, eating sensibly and healthy and never go to bed hungry. In Canada our last ultrasound is at 20 weeks unless we come across complications. Would it be inappropriate to demand another at my appointment today.... Even just for piece of mind? I should also note that my fundal height has been falling behind at each appointment. I just am going insane because it doesn't make sense and my husband, mother and friends keep trying to force unhealthy food on me because of it. Thoughts??

Yeah for sure ask - don't blame you at all even to eliminate stress of worrying . And your family much kindness but unhealthy food won't help baby if doesn't have the right things that baby needs - it'll just make you gain weight with no proper benefit . perhaps once you get reassurance that all ok a dietician would help ? someone who can craft a baby weight gain / mum stay healthy plan ?

Increase your calories by a few hundred this week and see if you gain any next week. I'd call though because its not normal not to be gaining at this point. It's either too much exercise or not enough calories.

Just finished my appointment. Turns out i LOST weight from two weeks ago.... weird. Doctor said I measured right on track so baby is growing just fine! I asked if I could go for an ultrasound anyway for piece of mind and he said yes and referred me. He also said baby is just getting what he needs from whatever fat stores I have (I hope he chooses my arm blubber lol). Also found out that December 19 he is writing me a note for sick leave! So much good news today!
